: - The rush of advertising last week Wednesday^and Thursday threw tbe entire force Into a rush and all hands were jumping. We had to print a sooond supplement and then failed to get < all our correspondence printed. Our correspondents always have the "right of way" but last week we were up against conditions which upset our regular order. Two pages and a half of new advertising came in after Wednesday morning and we had to take oare of It. This week we are prepared for everything—even a flood.

Our modest little JRam's Horn Ca­nal was doing a rushing business last week. The water came from the north and west and rolled along north of the school house in volumn suffic­ient to fill a three foot culvert where an 18.-lnch squirt pipe was gurgling full. Back water flooded the school houses rounds, and created a beauti­ful oascade between Tom Collins and Mr. Norton, while over on the Linn oornsr where the 18 inch pipe was gasping for breath, a small flood was beating fiercely against the rock foun-datljH>)Of the Linn home. Dr. Lew-Ison and the editor of the LBADBR were about to telephone Satrum Bros, for a flat boat when the street com­missioner came along and threw a few siioks of dynamite Into tbe cavity at tbe Oathollo church corner and then tbe water moved faster carrying out a conglomeration of decayed tin cans, old rabbets, spoiled cabbage, summer otothss and rabbit nests, but there

no adequate relief for tbe flood that came down tbe canal. It was watac.'water everywhere and no rub-bar boots to wear. There are two

-sempdles In sight. One is to put in laiger cul verts and the other Is to oarry the water that c«mes down Broadway straight south psst the

' • Ldnceta Oounty bank in a culvert un ;̂£dsr the street. If the water from tbe

aortk and west part of the city must bo oarfled iroand town, ample pro-vMansbouky be made to carry It off

His brother, Warren, is also meeting with great success at Seattle, a fact that will be pleasant news for his old schoolmates and Canton friends.

E. J. Straw of the real estate firm of Wendt Straw informs the LEADBR that the present outlook for business in Dakota is very flattering. Eastern men and men from the middle states are in correspondence with Wendt & Straw at present and from the tone of correspondence it is safe to predict a busy year for these gentle­men.

Roy Smith, a student at Ames, came home Saturday for a Sunday visit with his parents, Postmaster and Mrs. Smith.

He returned to Ames Monday. \

School Not«s. Basket Ball Friday night Sioux

Falls boys vs. Canton boys. Alice Bergstrom was winner of the

second prize in the Sioux Falls Press contest recently. There were 134 contestants and this certainly is a good showing for Alice and for our 8th grade.

The entertainment given by Miss Juel's and Miss Cline's rooms last week was a huge success, the old Con­gregational church being crowded al­most beyond its capacity. All took their parts well and quite a neat sum was cleared.

The long heralded game of basket ball for the city championship came off Tuesday night and ended in a de­cisive victory for the H. S. boys by a score of 36 to 10. The difference was largely due to tbe presence of Capt. Anderson in the game.

The third quarter of school ends Friday March 26. Reports will be out for all H. S. grades on April 1st and school will close April 2nd for a spring vacation of one week, resum­ing work again Monday April 12th.
